i am wondering why my nozzle does an irregular "backstep"( on UMO and also UM2) with this PLA print?

settings :

layer:0.1mm

walls:0.5 mm (more opacity)

speed:20

temp: 200

spiralized: on

cheers imke

    Hi Imke,

    Thank you for your email.

    I don't see any odd behaviour in the video, do you have some examples to show your issue a little bit better?

    What do you mean by backsteps?

    You should keep your walls in a multitude of your nozzle, so make it: 0.4 or 0.8 or 1.2 instead of 0.5

    Looking forward hearing from you!

    well it's not easy to see in the video- its in sec.11-12.

    the the nozzle is moving a step back and you can also hear it, this happens not regular, what is also shown in the photo.

    i turned spiralized on, because i didn't wanted a z scar , and thats why my wall thickness is not 0.8 (with 0.4 wall thickness the wall is too translucent) i am trying to find another video, but its difficult to capture...

    here is another one

    (at the endframes)

    its cura 15.04.2.but the problem was also there with earlier versions (problem is persistent since a few month i guess since 15.04 ?).

    There's a TON of discussion about this on the forums somewhere. It's a relatively recent bug but it appeared before the latest rewrite of Cura. I'm not sure how far back you have to go to get before this bug but I think about a year. Try Cura 14.6.* or older (14=2014, 6 would be for example june). Cura has been working quite well for quite a while so these older versions are quite mature and safe and stable.

    I lost track of it. The developers of the new cura Engine I believe were discussing it so I think they are aware and it might be fixed in the latest version (15.6 or newer) I really don't know - but I certainly saw lots of discussion about this - I think it was in the spring.
